Abstract
IN his article, Dr. C. H. Andrewes1 directs attention to the contrast between the host/vector relationship in Britain and Australia. When we have acquired further information about the biology of the rabbit flea (Spilopsyllus cuniculi) and also other possible arthropod vectors, we may find that a somewhat different set of factors comes into operation in Britain between major epizootics.
